The American Psychology Association defines creativity as the capacity to generate novel work, theories, methodologies, or ideas. Creativity is characterised by their ability to demonstrate originality, imagination, and expressiveness. While research has been unable to determine why certain people are more creative than others, creativity appears to be a long-lasting attribute that can be honed and cultivated through practice and development.
Creativity in business is essential because it drives innovation and problem-solving, allowing companies to navigate challenges and capitalise on new opportunities. Inviting a creative speaker into your business helps foster dynamic environments where fresh ideas lead to innovative new products, services, and marketing strategies that can set a business apart from its competitors. Creativity also encourages a culture of continuous improvement and adaptation, which is crucial in today’s fast-paced market. By embracing creativity, businesses can better meet customer needs, enhance their brand, and sustain long-term growth and competitiveness.
"You can't use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have." — Maya Angelou, author and poet
